Black letter, some Roman. Third title within decorated woodcut border, decorated initials and ornaments. Copious annotations to most added blanks, occasionally to margins, such as: C17 ms marginalia (recipes) to two ll. of I, ms autograph of Thomas Milne in a few places, two dated 1712 and 1714, one with Chirurgion , another John Milne 1767 , and James Milne at Brora 1777 . Substantial fraying to first gathering of I, a bit less to second, to last leaf of IV, and to handful more ll., with some loss, light water stain to upper outer corner throughout, heavier to last work, a few ll. soiled, textblock starting (half a dozen ll. detached), ink burn to V2 of IV, affecting a few words. Well-preserved in c.1700 Scottish calf, traces of clasps, double blind ruled, blind-stamped fleurons and TM (likely Thomas Milne) to covers, flat spine, worm loss to edges and foot of spine. A very rare survival a sammelband of four C16 English medical works, three in the first edition. Rebound in the early C18, most probably in Scotland, the book was still being used as a reference work by a series of (likely related) C18 physicians: Thomas, John, and James Milne. In 1712-14, Thomas appears to have had this sammelband bound or rebound, with some works in already incomplete copies, and added blanks for annotations. It is also possible that he deliberately discarded parts which were not relevant to study or practice. He created a table of contents for Cartwright s work, and filled several blanks with recipes drawn from books of secrets: to drain a swollen leg, treat the gut, etc. Most interesting is the section on how to become invisible , using heliotropium and a laurel leaf enclosed in a wolf s tooth. Thomas hand alternates with that of James Milne, who copied other remedies. A hospitall of the diseased is attributed to Thomas Cartwright (1535-1603), one of the leading Puritan preachers and master of Warwick s Lord Leycester hospital from 1585. The preface, signed T.C., urges sick people to delay no time, but with a final price buy a gem worth gold (this book, I mean) . This pocket manual is made of dozens of short sections, each devoted to a remedy: e.g., against the plague, ague, scalding, eye conditions, toothache. The (here fragmentary) Short discours [.] uppon chirurgerie comprises translations of extracts from several different works of the Bolognese physician Fioravanti (Durling). It touches on a great variety of subjects, e.g., remedies for insomnia, jaundice, palsy and dropsy. The translator, John Hester (d.1593) contributed to the circulation of Paracelsian medicine in England. A right profitable booke was written by Peter Levens (1552-87), a lexicographer trained at Oxford, and a student of Phisicke and Surgery . Structured as a book of secrets, it comprises dozens of short recipes for remedies head-to-foot, e.g., against headache, nose-bleeding, chipping of the lips, bleeding gums, blood in urine, incontinence, sweeling of the knees. The garden of health by the obscure William Langham is an alphabetic dictionary of the most important common medical herbs and plants, with their virtues, and with recipes and quantities to be used according to the ailment. They include grass, gratiola, housleek, horstail, and horsemint all identified by their English name. I: ESTC S91273l; Durling p.309 (two undated eds.).

Both items in good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Neither is signed by Langham. ONE: Agreement with Coward, 1892. 1p., foolscap 8vo. On vellum paper with red embossed tax stamp. 'I Walter Hastings Coward hereby bind myself to disclose to Herbert Hay Langham all Chrome Ore or Chromium Mine that I may discover or otherwise acquire any right or share to or that I may have at present discovered or otherwise have acquired any right or share in the Island of Madeira'. Other undertakings by Coward include one to 'visit the said Island of Madeira for the purpose of getting samples on a first Shipment of such' and one not to 'sell or otherwise part with in any manner any property or share or interest in any rights or licenses in connection with any Mind, Mines or Deposits of Chromium or Chrome Ore in the said Island of Madeira'. For his part, Langham, 'agrees to pay the costs of the said Walter Hastings Coward visiting the said Island such visit to be made at such time as the said Herbert Hay Langham shall require'. Signed: 'Walter Hastings Coward', with a deletion initialed by him 'W. H. C.' At foot of page: 'Writers | Henry Lattey | 24 Cornhill. E.C. | Solr'. See The Times, 21 August and 15 September 1893 for Coward's guilty-plea to a charge of obtaining £1500 by false pretences, for which he was sentenced to 18 months hard labour. TWO: Agreement with Donaldson, 1895. Signed 'James Donaldson' and in his hand. 1p., foolscap 8vo. On ruled paper, with red 6d 'Postage and Revenue' stamp. Much the same as the Coward document, but with the final undertaking by Langham replaced by: 'And it is further agreed that whatever percentage of the profits is alloted to Walter Hastings Coward same to be equally divided between the said Sir Herbert Hay Langham and James Donaldson'.
